I have to say the robot vacuum cleaner video with important (check points).

Cleaning efficiency with mapping the room the LG seems good.

The noise level on one of the robot cleaners with TrueRTA to see the frequency one of them was really top end loud.

The LG was the quitest one.

The dustbin I like the top loader. One of the others when removing the dust bin put the mess back on the floor. LG, Lifes Good.

Oh, that is much better even thou 85db can be loud on films, the frequency response of the is a bit flatter than the other vacuum cleaner that was a very peaky at 400Hz 109db.

The Hoover, Spritz Cylinder, is easy to pick up as well and seems manageable with the accessories. The suction power was great it was lifting out a heck of amount of dust/hairs and I hope a few fleas that I'm down to within a 10% ratio after lots of previous cleaning and flea foggers and all.

The design look of the Hoover I like it. Not a bad choice for £29.99 reconditioned.



Wow its arrived and I like the box. Small and tiny manageable like I want it. :)



Wow nicely packed with all the accessories.



Accessories telescopic



Accessories telescopic extends out



Filter cylinder



84db at same distance I had the SPL metre from the other vacuum cleaner.



Frequency response is a bit near flatter well I guess I could EQ it later. :D



After cleaning around my home floors bathroom bedroom kitchen, hallway and home THX cinema.

The cleaning of the seats was lifting a lot of dust out.

The other noiser vacuum cleaner the ear-buster.




The new Hoover, a lot smoother. Even with the earplugs worn still makes it claimer for 10 mins use in the morning.

Sooty, gives the Hoover Spritz Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner, 1.5 Litre, 850 Watt. a sniff over.



He doesn't particularly like them as the noise sound spooks him. But I have lots of cat hairs to clean up each day.

You mean the type that have tubes outlets or inlets for sucking running all over the house, I have seen a video of them. Not needed here. Vac gets around the home with 3 metre cable and tube.

So far I'm relaxed with it even with earplugs worn which makes it sound like its in +70db range I'm a lot calmer with it. :)

The cost of that must been in the hundreds$$. Tube pipes length by the $ metre and little fittings on the walls for plug in.

So does it work sucking continuously and you just plug in the length hose to wall or does it have sensor that knows when its plugged into wall it switches on automatically? Not that it matters the goal is to clean the floors. :)

The canister and the power-head for the carpets is where all the cost is. The plumbing and vacuum outlets (for lack of a better technical term) are cheap. The canister starts once I insert the hose into the vacuum receptacle and I get suction. It also stops when I pull the hose out. When I bought this house, the plumbing was already in place. Not much work hooking these up when the central vac is already roughed in.

What volume liter size is the canister and is it emptied after every vacuum cleaning of the day, (I empty mine after ever morning and use and wash the canister and filter after every 5 day use).

Show pictures of what yours is like.

Central vacs don't need to be emptied often. I do mine maybe twice a year.

I use the electrolux central vacuum unit. It is pretty quite. I remember the central vacuum seller telling me about some sort of insulation technology used in the vacuum to reduce the sound. The sound of each vacuum cleaner varies according to their insulation. Better insulated vacuums will have less sound emission.

I had a Hoover self propelled upright for a long long time. My dogs were terrified of it. The dog in my avatar, King, was scared of only two things, that vacuum, and a ceramic cocker spaniel that could outstare him. I always thought the vac scared him because of the noise, it was very loud, and I never really liked it because of that, and it threw out an amazing amount of heat. I used to take King to work with me, and one night the cleaning people were running late, and I saw they had the same exact model vac that I had at home. I expected King to go into a panic, but as the vac got closer and closer, he didn't seem to be stressed at all. When she got to the point of it being right next to him, she started nudging him with it, and saying, "Come on honey, move over!", and he just laid there. Finally I just slid him over about 5 feet and she vacuumed where he had just been. I took the hose attachment and ran the nozzle up and down his side and he barely blinked. At home, panic ensued as soon as I took it out of the closet. When it broke, I bought a refurb hoover bagless upright and a Dyson cordless. Both of them were ignored by my dogs for the rest of their days.

I have severe back issues and vacuming is about the worst thing I can do to myself. I did some Tuesday and an only now recovering. The Dyson is my preferred machine, but it's capacity is low..
